That is what he wants. Oh.. he wants individual files for 85,000 players? Then how fast can he go to the toolbar and push the button for each? That's how long it will take. He can also go to the toolbar and select "Players" It will list them alphabetically for him, and he can select which ones he wants. Or.. he can select Tournaments and it will list these in chronological order for him.
